Software development is changing fast and AI is at the center of it.
Today’s best developers aren’t just writing code -- they’re collaborating with intelligent agents to think, plan, and build differently.
There’s a shift happening in how apps are imagined, designed, and brought to life.
Developers who know how to work with AI can move faster, think bigger, and build smarter — from the very first spark of an idea all the way to a finished product.
1. Generate requirements
AI helps you systematically break down a high-level idea into concrete, manageable requirements.
Instead of getting stuck in a brainstorming loop, you can use an AI agent to act as a consultant, asking clarifying questions and suggesting a comprehensive list of features.
With this you identify potential edge cases and missing components early in the process.
What the AI can do
Generate a list of functional and non-functional requirements.
Ask clarifying questions to refine your initial idea.
Analyze your requirements for potential contradictions or missing details.
Suggest features based on industry standards and best practices.
Example prompt
"I want to build a social media app for fitness enthusiasts. What are the core features I'll need for this app? Categorize them by user roles (e.g., individual user, admin)."
"Given the requirements for a real-time chat feature, what are the potential technical challenges and non-functional requirements I should consider, such as scalability and security?"
"Act as a product manager. I've defined the following features for my to-do list app: user authentication, task creation, task deletion, and task editing. What is missing? What other features would make this a more complete product?"
2. Design and plan
Once you have your requirements, an AI agent can help you with the architectural design, data modeling, and even UI/UX wireframing. It can suggest design patterns, database schemas, and user flows, acting as a virtual architect or designer.
What the AI can do
Propose an application architecture (e.g., monolithic, microservices).
Design a database schema based on your app's features.
Generate example user flows
Suggest UI components and design patterns for specific screens.
Example prompts
"I want to build a social media app for fitness enthusiasts. What are the core features I'll need for this app? Categorize them by user roles (e.g., individual user, admin)."
"Given the requirements for a real-time…
